Tongue eating parasite

Common Questions and Answers about Tongue eating parasite

tongue

Along with this problem came chronic fatigue type syndrome, tired all the time but don't sleep well, black bags under eyes, sore/cramped muscles, bad breath/coat on tongue, smelly urine, poor skin condition-zits and ingrown hairs, and kinda a one-track mind which isn't like me. I've always had alot of phlem and stuff from my nose, alot of times it has some blood in it, and during the am I cough up **** for the first 30 mins or so.

Her diet has not changed dramatically since the onset of the orange discoloration on the tongue. I have heard of people eating a lot of beta carotene and having that cause orange palms of the hands and souls of the feet, but not on the tongue. And she doesn't eat a lot of foods that contain beta carotene. This is quite perplexing.

For the past 3 months I have been suffering from lip tingling/numbness, mostly the left lower lip along with my tongue being numb. I have not lost the ability to taste but eating/drinking/smoking does, most times, aggravate the symptoms. A few weeks after the mouth symptoms, my hands started to get pins and needles. First one side, then the other now it can do it simultaneously. I also have had several episodes of just the pinky tips going numb.

1. exam of mouth, teeth, tongue, and upper respiratory system, palpation of abdomen, etc.
2. exam of neck and spine and possible X-Rays
3. CBC and Chemistry blood work including bile acids
4. Urinalysis
5. fecal analysis to check for GI parasites and giving anti-parasite medication.
6. Anal gland expression.
If all testing and exams are normal than perhaps an appetite stimulant or a low dose of steroids may help to jump start her appetite.

That partially explains she leaving but she used to come back home even more starving after...
Im afraid she's eating bad stuff somewhere,dogs food or animals.
Just met a bird dead at my backyard,can be a bird that died naturally, killed by another cat or by her - hope no!
Do you think she can be sick? Or just "spoiled"?

This particular 'parasite' has yet to be recognized as a parasite and not a bacterium. It is not only carried by cats, but also birds, dogs, snakes, and rabbits.
The articles you posted are of the same study. It is only 1 study. Yes, it is intrigueing. Yes, it may raise a few questions. But the 'few'questions are limited.
If you are convinced that cat saliva is going to make you sick, there is no interest in trying to convince you to do some real research on the topic.

don't think so, I feel like doctors do not listen
But until now i cannot find an explanation to my white tongue and loss of appetite which came together.
3 weeks ago a parasite called entamoeba histolytica was found in my stools. I took medication for 4 days and I will do another stool analysis tomorrow to check if it is gone.
I was a healthy person and never had health issues. I do not know what is happening.
What do you think about the link I have provided?

R docs says to me there arent many meds out there for treating giardia and parasite so shes givesme this pep talk and says i dont care how you take the flagyl but you must take it if you whant to get better and she makes this example of the poor little children in africa that you can see almost there bones and that are very skinny she says giardia does all this so since i have abad anxiety problem that made me whant to go back on the flagyl i stoped it though and she did give me imodiom to stop

for all thats holy sombody help, it stated 2 years ago and progressivly worsened, i am 33 ys old i am a college student i used to have a very athletic lifestyle now i am just scared, right side throat gland swelling, abdominal swelling right side ,severe constipation , blood in stool everytime, constant cysts in right olvary, removal of three right side breast lumps, tired all the time, severe weight loss, stomach constantly wallows and cramps horrendous cramping, like almost month long periods

For months I couldn't drink alcohol without vomiting, and had pain and bloating after eating anything oily or too greasy. I also had urgent urges to pee during the day.
In August 2011 I had a UTI, treated with antibiotics. In Septmeber I got another kind of infection and took one antibiotic (prescibed for 7 days) for 3 days but was not able to tolerate it, so I switched to another antibiotic (one dosage) and vomited shortly afterwards, so I had to take it a third time (one dosage).

Pain in my abdomen, specifically in the upper and upper right side (aka stomach and liver area), extreme bloating after eating, nauseua, fatigue/malaise, loss of sex drive. Also my tongue will turn bright orange sometimes, and often there is a "raw dough" taste in my month, it feels like my stomach and esophagus are full and bloating.

my stool/bowels were soft with some diareah, and there was even blood in my stool once, also, my tongue began to get white I noticed; all which are clear symptoms of a parasite. So it made sense and I was pretty convinced, as one of the doctors said it is possible I contracted a parasite.
But all the tests came back negative, and it was only because of my persistence and increased symptoms that the doctor decided to prescribe me 500 mg 3x a day of Flagyl, for 12 days! Which btw is a high dose!

This was during a time when my skin was very inflamed, skin colored lumps on my face, laziness and tiredness, gas that smelled exactly like what I ate and also sometimes just very bad smelling, eyes were turning yellow, I had a fever that never went away, bloated, white tongue, very bad rash on both of my arms on the outside, and I'm prob forgetting a few things. I felt so disgusting.

I am having white tongue, rash on face and chest, diarrhea, muscle pain, and .... Tested negative for TB, ebv, hiv, hep a,b,c. what do u think that i should do? I am getting side infections easily and worried to lose my job. Any idea?

I wonder if this could be a parasite? Usually you would have the opposite problem though, eating a lot and not feeling full...but for some reason this still sprang to mine. Or maybe you have a bacterial infection? The ulcers could be due to bacteria...if you have diarrhea it's probably affecting all areas down there....a lot of time the bacteria from our bottoms cause be spread to our vag area.

Please try not to worry. Many is the time I have had a dog's tongue slobber all over my lips! When I was a child our dog tried to take my food and started eating it (a sandwich) and I snatched it back, and ate it myself. I did not get any infection from that. I realize that someone with a weak immune system might be at greater risk of infection, (usually a tummy upset)
Your symptoms might be caused by either fear, worry, or perhaps because the food was suspect to begin with?

I've lost about 4-5 pounds, probably from eating a lot less and the diarrhea.
I had full blood work and urinalysis...all normal. Stool sample came back with no parasites, still waiting for C-diff (but I haven't taken antibiotics in 6 months) and waiting for blood in stool result. NO visible blood at all. Had swollen lymph nodes in neck/throat area and under ear, all resolved. Also have tiny fistula about half inch from rectum. Have sensitivity and redness at tip of tongue as of this AM.

And when preparing pork, beef, or lamb at home, cook it to medium or medium-well, says Dr. Ricciotti. These meats may be infected with toxoplasma, a parasite that causes an infection that, although relatively rare, can cause stillbirth or serious health problems.
Fish
You probably already know that mercury, which is present in many fish, is dangerous for your baby. "Mercury is a neurotoxin that impairs fetal brain development," says Dr. Ricciotti.

have you tried to keep track of what your cat has eaten whe precepts the 'runs'
What food is he eating? how often? What environment does he live... urban or rural or in between? is he an inside or outside cat or both?
these are questions that need to be asked to get a full idea of how your cat lives and what might be the cause of his gastric problems.

but it reoccur. And tongue has ridges on sides of tongue.
3)swollen lymph nodes neck and under chin. (Which resulted as difficult in swalloing) and also unbearable muscle and joint aches (now they are not there)
4) digestion problems (now I had got pot belly I can say it as central obesity :-(
5) rash on forehead and shoulders.dry skin on legs(now better)
6)Some oily leakage from anus. (At present)
7)my feet and legs are swelling after walking/standing for a while and they are painful.

They use microscopes in this fb group and someone saw the parasites in their tonsil stones.

(every 3rd day or so)
*waking up with extremely sore/stiff legs that are persisting throughout the day. Some days not as sore as others.
*have developed a thick white/yellow lining/coating on my tongue which will not go away with thrush/candida treatment. I even went on a 10 day course of Nizoral to treat this (anti fungal meds), but it hasn't done much to help the problem.
I also am seeing the person that I had sexual contact with, (she is my girlfriend).
